Yet another worthy Dover anthology of solo piano works that has gone out of print, I feel fortunate to have picked up a used copy from an Amazon merchant for a very reasonable price.
No doubt the wide variety in repertoire is responsible for the variance in notation style from piece to piece; I personally find the Victorian-style typeface used in the Clementi, for example, somewhat annoying to read but others may not be bothered.

Here are the full contents:
